In conference play, this number increases to 75.8. Clearly the defense has struggled to defend against AAC opponents, so look for the Golden Hurricane to limit open shots and force turnovers to take the ball out of the UCF play-makers.

The Knights are scoring an average of 75.1 points. While this is just an average number, their shooting is what separates them from many teams. From the field they are shooting the ball at 48.1%.
